Swedish M21 (18), also known as the "high top" was the second type having a narrower brim and less of a crest, these helmets were developed in 1918 but did not come into production until 1922/23, made of quality materials at the Eskilstuna Factories they remained in service throughout WWII when they were then eventually phased out by the M37.
